Only with a passenger in the car. It just hits enough to make some noise when you hit a fairly large bump. Working on that before spring hits.




And damn, I wanna see the commander.

Here is the only picture I can find of it clean.lol

Click on either of the above pics. That will take you to Photobucket and he has a pic of the Commander on there.

Edit: The OP beat me to it!

Hmmm..sounds like I may have to go with a different offset then. I'm lowered and I take my car to road race events so I don't want any sort of rubbing.

A 315/30 20 is a bit more than an inch shorter than a 315/35 20

The Proxes is the only tire I can find that size.

I ordered F14 in a 20" x 11" with a 53mm offset after reading of several who had their 315/35 fit with no problems. Both put the face of the wheel about the same location .040" further in for the OP's wheel but maybe the extra 1/2" on the inside of the wheel pulls the rubber over further.

FWIW, the tirerack does not carry Nitto so I am using MPSS specs.

Ok, I was confused because I thought he was talking about the exact same tire size. Obviously going from a 35 to a 30 would make sense.

My only issue with this wheel is I have to go with a 10.5 in the rear if I want a 9.5 in the front, or I have to go with a 11 in the rear and get stuck with the smaller 9 in front. What I'd prefer is 9.5 in the front and 11 in the rear, but I'm just not sure I want to mix and match the semi-concave with the deep concave.

My F14s are 20x11 and 20x9.5 both in deep concave.

In fact, just confirmed that yesterday.

Perhaps those sizes are available for the F14's but not the CF5's. I don't see that as an option on their website. :shrug:

I did not see it for the F14s on the website either. I am working with Paul Howey like many others here. He was the one who was able to put this together for me. He is a member here and has some good wheel threads up. He also gave me an excellent package deal and SVT discount.

Wheels started production yesterday, no pics yet, Part of a winter suspension project so I may not have pics till March or so.

OP---car looks great!

Did you install an adjustable panhard rod? That could explain the rubbing.

Thats encouraging. I'll go through him as well when I'm ready to buy and see what he's got to say. Thanks :beer:

Did you mean to quote me? I don't have any rubbing. :shrug:
